FYI, the current set of snapshots [1] additionally supports the following machines: o Fujitsu (Siemens) PRIMEPOWER 250 (likely also 450, 650 and 850) o Sun Fire B100s server blades (for the Sun Fire B1600 platform; previously it was impossible to use the on-board NICs thus these machines were pretty much useless with FreeBSD) o Sun Fire V890 (likely also V490, so far both only with non-mixed US-IV/IV+ CPU-configurations though due to unsolved timekeeping problems; performance with US-IV+ CPUs not yet isn't were it should be though) Also problems with Schizo version 7 bridges (actually the firmware of these machines) triggering panics during boot are solved in these snapshots.
